Good afternoon Chris H

Thank you for your email.

Tax treaties are publicly available material maintained for reference purposes, and are therefore not documents that you can (or need to) apply for under the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

Information about the treaty you are inquiring about is on the Treasury website, at https://treasury.gov.au/media-release/is.... The treaty can be viewed at the first link under 'Related Content' at the bottom of the page.

Dear Australian Taxation Office,

I have found the treaty

(URL):

(http://austreasury1.prod.acquia-sites.co...)

Unfortunately, there are no signatures in this document.

So to clarify my initial request, I would like to request the document containing signatures from all parties and witnesses.

Yours faithfully,

Chris H

General Counsel Requests, Australian Taxation Office

Good afternoon Chris H

Thank you for your email.

The ATO answered your initial email to assist you with publicly-available information on the Treasury website. However, we are unable to assist you further, as original versions of tax treaties and any documents associated with them are not documents of the ATO. I ask that you direct your request to the Department of the Treasury.
